Tess or Tessa are also fab!

Sorry posted in the wrong place Blush

BoohPear · 10/12/2013 19:20

Used Phoebe, liked Mabel.

trinitybleu · 10/12/2013 19:23

Tabitha.

Also liked Imogen, Willow, Meredith and Beatrice.

LynetteScavo · 10/12/2013 19:24

Liked but didn't use;

DS1 would have been Jasmine

DS2 would have been Anastasia

(Which, with hindsight, sound a bit Disney Princess)

I'd gone off both of those names by the time I had DD. She is not called Claudia. Grin

Kneedeepinshittynappies · 10/12/2013 19:25

Used sadie, list included (that I remember)
Elodie, Seren, Mirren, Josephine, Violet, Nancy, Biba, Georgina and Luna.

momster · 10/12/2013 19:25

Dd is called Holly Rose and she really suits it. Other names on the list were Elise (nn Ellie), Alice and Isabel (nn Izzy).

Ds would have been Isabel.

mumbaisapphirebluespruce · 10/12/2013 19:28

Used Claudia. Other names in the running were Charlotte and Gabriella.

Tubemole1 · 10/12/2013 19:30

Genevieve, Genny as a nn.

Rose, Daisy, Iris. (I like flower names)

Rebecca.

WhispersOfWickedness · 10/12/2013 19:30

DD is Rosa.

We had Lucy, Alice, Primrose, Maude, Celeste, Ivy and Matilda on our my list Smile

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 10/12/2013 19:32

DD1 is Catherine (Catey)
I liked Caroline,
Wendy,
India,
Scarlett,
Melanie.

DD2 is due in march. DP likes Olivia, I don't.
I like Verity, DP doesn't.
So far she is being called Ryvita! DD 1 christened her that and it's the only name to stick! Confused

Im really hoping that her actual name reveals itself when we see her!

Sammie101 · 10/12/2013 19:37

Elizabeth Jane Smile she gets called Libby most of the time though!

I absolutely loved Maggie but my OH preferred Elizabeth and as I had already laid down the law on a boys name he got the final choice for girls

wigglesrock · 10/12/2013 19:39

I have 3 daughters - Sofia, Olivia & Anna.

I also liked Juliet, Camille, Nina, Sadie, Mary, Meg, Stella.

FionasFatFairy · 10/12/2013 19:39

DD1 is Gabriela Faith, NN Ela. Was always going to be Gabriela, we toyed with Delilah for a middle name.
DD2 is Luisa Amelia, DH doesn't like Amelia but he picked DD1's middle name (from a short list), so I jumped in quick (during the c section) when asked what her name was!

Sheissmallandveryspidery · 10/12/2013 19:40

Lynette - shame you didn't get to use Anastasia.

I did and I absolutely love love love it :)

Sheissmallandveryspidery · 10/12/2013 19:41

Not at all Disney. We had more comments about 50 bloody shades of gray and none about Disney !

Bankholidaybaby · 10/12/2013 19:43

I liked Penelope, Eleanor and Jemina, but my husband said they were too posh!

Haribojoe · 10/12/2013 19:43

I liked but didn't use Tabitha, Lydia, Persephone and Perdita Smile

peachypips · 10/12/2013 19:49

We have all boys, but I had on my girls' list:

Rosa Elizabeth
Dora Elizabeth
Coralie Jeanne
Mary Elizabeth

Feel so sad I won't use them!!

womma · 10/12/2013 19:57

Dora Ivy.

I'm having another girl in April and DH and I are stumped for names....

CPtart · 10/12/2013 20:15

rocketghirl · 10/12/2013 21:34

Didn't go with India, Skye, Haydn, went with middle names Jane, Aoife & Grace. First names are far too revealing!

Wanted..Alice,Alyssa, Nancy and asha, ended up with Eloise Elizabeth and I love it
